简要总结
This study aims to evaluate tongue protrusion motor skills in healthy adults and to assess the reliability of these measurements as well as their validity in relation to other motor functions (handgrip and respiratory muscles).
详细描述
The tongue is an organ involved in multiple essential daily functions (such as eating, speaking, and breathing). Normative values exist for the motor skills of tongue elevation in individuals. However, data regarding protrusion are lacking. Yet, the protrusive strength of the tongue is of particular interest. Indeed a weak protrusive tongue strength may contribute to sleep apnea and swallowing disorders. Therefore, this study aims to collect normative and clinimetric (validity and reliability) data of tongue protrusion strength and endurance among healthy adults.

研究组 & 干预措施
Healthy adults
Healthy adults of 18 years and older will fill out the STOP-BANG Questionnaire and undergo protrusive motor skills measurements.
干预措施: Assessment of motor skills of the tongue and others muscles, see below) and risk for sleep apnea (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Tongue protrusion peak pressure
时间窗: Measured two times: at baseline and after 2 to 4 weeks
Tongue peak pressure during protrusion movements will be measured via the IOPI device
Tongue protrusion endurance
时间窗: Measured two times: at baseline and after 2 to 4 weeks
Tongue endurance during protrusion movements will be measured via a timer (the time in seconds until the participant is not able to sustain tongue protrusion as controlled via the IOPI).
次要结局
- Tongue elevation peak pressure(Measured two times: at baseline and after 2 to 4 weeks)
- Maximum Inspiratory and Expiratory Pressure(Measured once at baseline)
- Tongue elevation endurance(Measured two times: at baseline and after 2 to 4 weeks)
- Handgrip Strength(Measured once at baseline)
- Tongue mobility restriction(Measured once at baseline)
